Artist Andreas Franke will be displaying a unique set of artwork at Niyama and Huvafen Fushi in the Maldives, when his Phantasy Fairytale exhibition will be exhibited underwater.

The underwater art will be cased in plexiglass and then suspended from the underwater structures of the Lime Spa at Huvafen Fushi and Subsix at Niyama.

Once the images are submerged, algae and microorganisms in the ocean will create the final product, adding the ‘ocean’s signature’ to the works.

“With my photographs, I want to pull the spectators into unreal and strange worlds,” said Franke. “Dreamworlds you can get lost in or that you can identify with. This creates a new and unexpected atmosphere and this work shows very much of myself, since I am always on the lookout for stunning themes to create new images that have never been seen before.”
